Checked this place out in February during an abnormally warm week (as I was told) and it was still a great experience. There were 3 pools to choose from - one was pretty big more oriented for a family or heat-sensitive individuals. The big pool was the least hot, but we started there so it wasn’t a let down or anything. The eucalyptus steam room was pretty awesome and definitely recommend. It got hotter than the hot sauna and just really seemed to do a number for the sinuses/breathing. They have a hot and cold shower spot to rinse off after the sauna/steam rooms - there’s also water available throughout the area with cups so you can get some water if you’re feeling thirsty. Wasn’t a major fan of the curved stone bed, the flat beds were occupied when I went in there - but that was pebbly the most quiet area I experienced and it was still relaxing. Overall, for ~$50 USD and no time limit on the visit, seemed like a great value and would definitely go back.
Relaxing and enjoyable. For those who remember the old Takhini Hot Springs, it’s no longer the same. I’ll admit, there was a certain magic to its simplicity—the plywood divider in the pool and the stripped-down setup had its charm. But with expansion comes change, and you can either dig in your heels like the Zax in Dr. Seuss—forever stuck on principle—or, as Grandma would say, just give it a try. The new hot springs spa is a wonderful way to experience the North. Hot pools, cold plunges, dry and steam saunas—each invites you to slow down, breathe deep, and refresh. Spend your time moving through a variety of water and steam features, giving your body a fresh start.
Was great when it was owned by proper yukoners who cared instead of owned by people who dont keep in mind the local population. Back when it was cheap and they ran good deals and knew what its like living in the yukon instead of only catering to tourists and overcharging everyone all year, the new one is nice and clean and but you gotta be there a whole day to make it worth the money or dont even bother. Nice christmas sale you guys got but 25 bucks off a 350$ pass is still WAY over price. If you gotta charge locals like this to keep your doors open maybe you were too optimistic with how fancy you made the place
If Epcot was a hot spring. To summarize, this place is not made for relaxation. From the moment we arrived the staff were abrupt and rude. The sauna isn’t hot and the lights were on full blast. The steam rooms just feel like a bathroom without a fan—more of a damp room. The cold plunges weren’t working so we were encouraged to do a “snow roll.” The warm pools were nice, no complaints there. I think if you’ve never been to another Nordic spa or hot spring, this would be adequate but in general, the vibe is just really bad.

Primitive springs don’t come with towels. A quick-dry towel, water shoes, and a headlamp for the walk back all pack small.
